2016-08-10 Things that are new including second plantings.

We stay very busy but we have a good rhythm and we work together. This year we have some new stuff happening. We have a second crop of Lemon Sorrel that should last through the winter into the spring. We have a second crop of Chard (mangold) coming along very quickly and this will last until the hard freezes.

Newest crop of Chard to last until the hard freezes reach into our thick remay

And I have several new herbs that I have never grown before and these have been a huge blessing to me. I tend to grow what I, my family, or my friends need. Often when I hear about an herb and am interested in it, it seems to somehow to appear in my life.

Wood Betony (Stachys Officinalis)

Blue Vervain (Verbena Officinalis)

Roman Chamomile (Chamaemelum nobile)

These last 3 are wonderful nervines, a class of herbs that I am learning more about the energetics of.
